On the web

  1. Open the create menu and choose New farm (drop a pin on the map) or New field (draw a boundary on the map). You can also select Add place on the Places page.
  2. For a pin, click the map where it goes, or use Search address or coordinates.
  3. For a boundary, click to add corners and click the first corner or double-click to finish.
  4. Fill in Name, and optionally Account (optional), Map color and the parent place.
  5. Select Save.

On the phone

  1. On Today or the Map tab, tap +, then New farm or New field.
  2. For a pin, enter the name, choose Use my location or Type an address, and tap Add. A parent place is optional.
  3. For a boundary, choose Draw on the map or Walk a boundary. See the boundary article for the steps.
  4. During a visit, use New field here in the place picker to add one where you stand.

  • Soil, crop history and NDVI layers are shown inside field boundaries, so draw or import the boundary to see them.
  • To add many places at once, import a file on the web.
